Non-state action towards climate-friendly and energy-efficient cooling
This research paper argues that while non-state actor initiatives in the refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) sector are currently limited, end-users like supermarkets, hotels, and cold stores have significant potential to reduce emissions through energy efficiency and the adoption of low-GWP refrigerants. The author emphasizes that voluntary action must be supported by mandatory government regulation and the formation of alliances to overcome regulatory, financial, and informational barriers.
